There goes one of my tactics...

It's a good thing though as I always felt it was an rather an exploit than anything. :)

[Onkel Neal]

Keep up the good work, KF:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

[jrolson]

Love these updates!

Can't wait until we get 3D towed arrays though...

[LoBlo]

I wish KF would use the universal NATO NTDS map symbols. Its strange not using them.

[Stardog765]

Any update on the helm panel addition?

Seems to be referenced and shown off in screenshots but have not heard anything about it since.

Im sure there are customers who bought the game based on that feature coming that would like just a little update at least as to where we are with that and how its going to be implemented.

Thanks appreciate it.

That is a bigger feature that requires integration with the current navigation system and damage control. It will also require new key binds and a lot of testing.

So the plan is get to it soon and we want to time as many edits to options/keybinds in the one release to try and minimise disruption to player's options and of course mods.

Once we commit to the helm stuff it will put bug fixes on hold for a while and we want go get the campaigns stable and track down the last of the major bugs (including AI ones) first.

[Stardog765]

That is all I was asking for thank you.

Just wanted to know it hasnt been forgotten about or canned. Its amazing what a little communication can do!

Thank you sir!

[JacqueShredo]

Thank you KG! It's so nice to know you are working hard on this great game. The UI is going to be amazing, it will put the game in legendary status.

Really looking forward to this when completed. :yeah:

Will we be able to order turns for specific speed with the new helm control?

If you mean on the campaign map, then send me a link of what the symbols look like and I will mod them in for you.

[PL_Harpoon]

I already did that (except for plane symbols, because in the game they are rotated).

I've included them in the mod I'm currently working on.

This is how it looks:

If you just want the icons use only this folder: override\campaign\images\sprites

And if you're interested in other things I changed, here's the thread:

@PL_Harpoon looking good man!

PLEASE implement something like this officially KFG

[konstantinua00]

while those icons could be "historical", I'd really added them maximum as an option

1)they aren't intuitive
2)they are hollow
3)eye doesn't catch them strait away

[Nikita]

I would appreciate in the next patch you can save the mission in the tactical map. It is easier dodge torpedoes in CW than those launched by "friendly fire": wife, mother-in law, dog, children, etc.

EDIT
Just realised I have just repeated what you just said jrolson

Sorry

It is Friday and I am a little drunk :oops:

A small preview video would be nice! :yep:

1.04b campaign is so boring.
I have played 6 missions and 5 of them is the same tanker/tender mission from Murmansk or Archangelsk.
And now my 7th mission is also that same tanker/tender mission again.

Please make the campaign missions more varied and interesting in the future.

[TheCabal]

A new patch got out. And damn... the Crew Voice... I immediately recognize fpschazly guys. :salute: What about you?

[609_Avatar]

Just had a few minutes to play around with the new patch and I really like the voices! Thanks for adding them. It also seemed like I was harder to pick up than before, could be my imagination and I need more time with it to be sure but that was my initial impression.

[MekStark]

1)they aren't intuitive
(...)
3)eye doesn't catch them strait away

that's why we went with RSR-styled ones

[Wiz33]

Problem with 1.05. SSGN mission, took out the Alfa and damage the Oscar, it's sitting on the bottom but I can't see it anymore in F2, Send a few more Torp at it at depth of 900ft but could not see it and steer to kill it. 95% solution, turn the torp around a few times and change depth but still could not see it with wire attached.

Crew voice is great though. Makes controlling your sub easier so you don't have to always keep an eye on depth gauge.

EDIT: Just did the mission again and this time I can see it with F2 & F3 and was able to steer the 3rd torp onto target. Those Oscar are tough, took 3 torps.

Original RSR used NATO symbols. Look at page 3 of https://www.digitpress.com/library/manuals/c64/red_storm_rising_supplement.pdf
